Spent this past weekend participating in a extra long range event on a central north island station.
After speaking to several of the other competitors, and doing some testing, I am starting to think @Tui4Me is onto something here.
I was also not correct in saying the flight time (in the software) for the 2 scenarios would be similar.
Taking the 1000m / 20 degree angle
940 @ 0 : 1.522 sec
1000 @ 20 : 1.622 sec
this is for something leaving the muzzle at 875 m/s, so it does make sense.
The actual flight time will be the longer value, gravity only works on the short leg of the triangle. Because the solver is time-of-flight based, you will get a more accurate value by entering the true LOS value and angle, as opposed to just the TBR value.
